I agree with you about the stance looking at the pics. A two button jacket with more of a deep V shape would look a lot better on me. This is where taking photos of new items can be really helpful - I see different things that way, especially in 2 dimensions rather than in the mirror. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-656990 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 02:05:48 +0000 Sveta 656990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing dress and great polka dot top! Very flattering in shape and color - keep!<br /> I was not impressed with the jacket to the same level. My first thought was that it looks kind of frumpy buttoned up because the stance is too high even though it looks better unbuttoned.<br /> BTW it is very satisfying to have Angie confirming my own feelings...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-656915 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 00:17:48 +0000 Kari 656915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lynne, I hope it works better on you! </p> <p>Yes, I think a jacket is on my NAS wish list. A full skirt suit if possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-656743 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:01:32 +0000 Meredith1953 656743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress and the blouse and skirt. I do like the jacket but not as much as I like the other pieces. That blue is a glorious color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-656680 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 17:37:44 +0000 Vicki 656680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your dress in # 1-3, styled with that beautiful scarf, is a "must keep" and will be perfect for your friend's wedding. I love it on you! I also like the dotted blouse in photos 7, etc. and think it's a wonderful addition to your wardrobe. It looks like Angie is helping you stay on "high style standards task" with the blazer. You can probably find one even better at the NAS, which is right around the corner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-656444 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 14:19:37 +0000 lynne 656444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is truly stunning! And thank you, Kari, for posting the blazer. I bought it at full price a couple of months ago then returned it because I was feeling guilty about how much $$ I'd been spending on clothes. I like the fact that it is cardiganesque. Now that its on sale, my guilt is gone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-656404 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:36:29 +0000 Kari 656404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christieanne, the red and white version sounds wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-656179 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 04:11:00 +0000 christieanne 656179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Pleoine top. I have been looking for that color pattern to no avail locally and website sold out in my size. (I did buy a red and white patterned version). So comfy and easy to wear on warm day. Nice on you! </p> <p>Dress is of course perfect! </p> <p>I do like the blazer but could see it worn differently - with a jean possibly and I know you don't wear denim much. I would follow Angie on this one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-656050 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 01:04:30 +0000 Kari 656050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, back the jacket goes. I don't want a mediocre piece hanging around. </p> <p>I'm so thrilled that the dress worked out! I was bummed at first because they ran out of this color and the emerald green shade that I lived in my size, but there must have been some returns because it recently came back in stock temporarily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-656031 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 00:46:42 +0000 catgirl 656031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not adoring the jacket, but it could be because I don't love piping. There's just something a little off about the fit to my eye.</p> <p>The other two items are a million out of ten and must be kept! The blue dress is just perfection on you! Is there a dress you can't wear?! Sheesh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-656015 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 00:15:03 +0000 Kari 656015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good eye, Natalie! Yes, this is the Vince Camuto tube skirt, and I duplicated my ECCOs in black. I figured that the basic black pump would be great for interview wear when a colorful shoe isn't the best choice. They are so totally comfortable. I wish they came in other colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-655840 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 19:45:28 +0000 Kari 655840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and Celia, that absolutely makes sense. Thank you. </p> <p>I also think I need a jacket that's a couple inches shorter since I would mainly wear it with dresses or skirts. </p> <p>Good ideas about what to look for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-655632 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:35:03 +0000 rachylou 655632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto to what Tanya said ;&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys/page/2#post-655624 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:20:00 +0000 Tanya 655624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Kari, the dress is stunning on you! The color, the fit - pure perfection. Love the blouse as well.<br /> I also thought the jacket looks good, but I would obviously trust Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655616 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:00:53 +0000 celia 655616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is my favourite of this lot. It looks stunning on you. The top fits right into your wardrobe and it is also perfect.<br /> I have to confess that I read Angie's opinion about the jacket and I see her point although before I read it I might have said that it was a good jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655525 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:46:37 +0000 Angie 655525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fair question, Kari! </p> <p>To my eye the jacket is a little too snug in the arms. The sleeves are too long and it does not look best when buttoned up. It looks nicer un-buttoned, but just not a 10. Something about it is borderline frumpy. It's just not Mad-Men-Retro enough to look cool. I hope this makes sense. </p> <p>When you set a high style standard Kari, I will go to great lengths to help you maintain it - which means splitting hairs at times! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655518 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:37:38 +0000 marianna 655518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to hear Angie's thought on the jacket too! Very curious on the professional's thoughts. I've tried it on myself and loved it, but have been waiting for further markdowns. I think it's a great piece... I love knit jackets like that. Maybe a different color would be better for you, Kari? They had a nice navy with green piping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655502 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:20:09 +0000 lyn67 655502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress, and kimono top, keep them. Jacket is more of a cardi (fabric) so not that structurred enough I think-and if this is OK for you, then keep-see what Angie say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655499 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:15:07 +0000 sarah 655499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I think you are 3 for 3 with these purchases, Kari. They are all lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655489 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 12:16:26 +0000 Jjsloane 655489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all, but I am wearing a similar jacket today and just put both colors in my wishlist. If you're considering returning, I would hang onto it until the NAS just in case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655484 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:16:32 +0000 harmonica 655484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress! Love the top and jacket too (but listen to Angie ;-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655456 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 06:13:40 +0000 goldenpig 655456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow just wow! That coral dress and green polka dot top are simply stunning on you! (I tried the polka dot top and returned it--as an apple, I guess I don't have the right shape for it--didn't fill out the top enough but filled out the middle too much, LOL!) Is there any dress that doesn't love you Kari! So so fab! Love the green skirt too--is that the Vince Camuto midi tube skirt? And are those black pumps the same ones as your orange Ecco pumps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655454 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 05:59:16 +0000 ManidipaM 655454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually rather like the jacket, but if Angie says there's better out there for you, I bet there is!</p> <p>ADORE the dress. Utterly fabulous. </p> <p>PS: I kept thinking of you while browsing the NAS catalogue Traci linked us to. Your curry with cool colours kept jumping out at me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655401 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 04:11:06 +0000 Kari 655401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VelvetyChocolate, you are making me grin a mile wide. A girl can't have a "down body image day" around here, can we? </p> <p>Thanks to all of you. I'll keep the top and dress for sure. I'll think about the jacket. If this isn't really the most fab cut or the quality doesn't measure up, I'd rather return it than end up with a closet orphan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655392 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:51:33 +0000 velvetychocolate 655392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress is amazing....a 12! (had to top Angie's "11!"). Also love the green dotted dolman sleeve blouse as well. The jacket is fab too, but it's not an 11 or 12 - maybe a 9.5-ish? I love the Chanel-ish vibe to it, though. </p> <p>In the meantime, you are looking FAB Kari - wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655369 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:26:50 +0000 Kari 655369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's definitely a great top! It is a knit but feels very silky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655364 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:19:22 +0000 Anonymous 655364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all (but listen to Angie). The cut of that top is incredibly beautiful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655358 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:08:40 +0000 Diana 655358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is gorgeous on you! The top and jacket are also lovely, although the jacket is reading slightly cardigan-ish to me, which is fine if that's what you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655354 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:02:52 +0000 Kari 655354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will do, Amy! Thanks for the warning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-last-pre-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-buys#post-655352 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:01:33 +0000 Amy 655352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue dress is stunning. Be careful with the Pleione top. Mine accidentally ended up in the wash and shrunk terribly...be sure to hand wash! </p>
